I attended the lighthouse program for an equivalent to three school years, and ultimately I personally was unsatisfied with my experience there, and so I left before I started 9th grade. However I'd like to say this in a manner as not to discourage you from enrolling your son, as the lighthouse has its equal share of advantages as well as disadvantages.
From what I've seen, your son appears to be a very bright and intelligent kid who is very eager to learn, traits to which the Lighthouse was originally designed to cater towards. "Insatiable Learners" as the founder, Dr. Bill Keilty describes, are really the backbone of the program, without whom the program would not be the same. And thus the greatest advantage of all is the capacity to learn just about whatever one so desires, though lighthouse students still have to comply to state and federal standards in terms of Math, Reading et cetera.
